(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Department of Veterans Affairs insider shared a Department of Health and Human Services memo with James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) that requested “presidential inauguration [medical personnel] support deployment.”
“What concerned me was that this has never been requested before, especially not from HHS,” the VA insider said.
The revealed internal memo requested medical personnel before the 2025 presidential inauguration and detailed a formal appeal for paramedics, emergency nurses and doctors.
Derrick Jaastad, the Executive Director for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Office of Emergency Management, told O’Keefe that he “was not with the organization, so [he] can’t speak” about whether it was typical for the Office of Emergency Management to administer this kind of memorandum for previous inaugurations.
An OMG journalist also contacted Public Affairs Specialist Kurt M. Rauschenberg, asking him whether the deployment of medical personnel by HHS was typical for a presidential inauguration. Rauschenberg also avoided answering the question by stating that he “can’t speak to previous inaugurations.”
OMG also stated that it didn’t receive an explanation after requesting additional information from the HHS via the Freedom of Information Act.
“The Citizen Journalism Foundation (CJF) supports whistleblowers, including federal government sources, by covering legal fees, offering advocacy, and helping ensure their stories are heard,” O’Keefe wrote on Twitter, including the organization’s website, as well as OMG’s Signal phone number and email address.

Conservatives on Twitter responded on Twitter, suggesting that the reason why the memo was released was because the Left allegedly plans to organize a terrorist attack.
“We need people independent of the Trump campaign, & the government to watch over DC on inauguration day. Supposedly, he saw a truck with explosive fertilizer & a suicide bomber inside,” @A9000D wrote.
I just watched a video on TikTok. A guy that's accurately predicted Trump being shot, & the Bourban street terrorist attack, said DC was going to experience a terrorist attack. We need people independent of the Trump campaign, & the government, to watch over DC on inauguration…

Others also pointed out that the government would try to make it look either like Iran or Russia to find an excuse to start the Third World War.

I keep sayin'!. The FBI and DS are going to drone the inauguration. Why do you think we had the drone psy op? Why do you think the Dems aren't attending?
